Heartless love

Seven

Hope POV

"So are you going to ask my sister out or not?" Lizzie asked

"Not." I say

"And why is that?" Lizzie asked

"Well first off, she's with finch. Second I don't think Josie likes me like that and who says I like her like that" I say

"You did. You literally said it" Lizzie says

"When?" I asked

"You know what. I'm done with you" Lizzie says

"So what are you guys talking about?" Josie asked

"Uhh, nothing. I'm going to go. See you guys later?" I asked

"Yeah sure" Lizzie says

Finch was walking over to the table so I had to get out of there.

I didn't want to kill her. I know that if finch even opened her mouth I would go crazy.

I know I shouldn't be triggered by finch because if I'm going to be Josie best friend or friend at all I would need to be able to handle being around her.... Girlfriend. It pains my heart to say finch is Josie's girlfriend. I don't know why but it just does.

I went to go find Caroline. I'm starting to grow a bond with her. She actually gets me and doesn't taunt me for being my fathers child like Alaric does. Which he probably is right.

"Hey sweetheart" Caroline says
"Hey Caroline. I wanted to talk with someone about my feelings. I don't think talking with Josie or Lizzie would be a good idea" I say

"Okay, come in and let's talk" she says

Lizzie POV

I hate that my sister is so blind. Like I thought blondes were the dumb ones.

"I'm leaving" I say
"Why?" Josie says

Finch then sits at the table

"I don't feel comfortable eating here" I say before getting up

Josie didn't have anytime to make me stay because I left before she can talk.

I know exactly why Hope left. She likes Josie although she just lost someone that means so much to her she still can't fight her feelings off.

I should go talk to her but classes are going to start and I don't want to get in trouble. But I will go after class.

Josie POV

As soon as finch came to the table I knew why Lizzie wanted to leave. I don't know what's wrong with finch and Lizzie and why they don't get along but they have to start trying if we are going to be in each other's life.

"I'm sorry" I say
"No it's okay. I know your sister doesn't like me. Hell maybe your whole family" finch says

"My mom likes you. She just needs to know more about you" I say

"Yeah it doesn't seem that way. But I'll see you at lunch" she says

Before I could say anything the bell had ranged.

I walked into class and Lizzie was there but instead of siting next to me she sat next to Mg. Is she mad at me for something? Why is everyone doing this today of all days?

"Okay class, let's get started" the teacher said

Hope POV

"So do you know how you feel about Josie?" Caroline asked

"All I know is she makes me happy but all friends make each other happy" I say

"Okay, do you get a weird feeling in your stomach when she talks with you?" Caroline asked

"You mean butterflies?" I asked

Caroline nodded.

"Well, there was this one time. Well this morning but it wasn't nothing." I say

"Okay. Tell me about it" she says

"Well we were in my room and she just woke up. She was next to me and she had smiled. She's always smiley, but this smile was everything. I felt butterflies then but I didn't know that's what it was at the time. What does that mean?" I asked

"Oh honey. You have a little crush" Caroline says

"But that can't be. I just lost Landon and moving on that fast? It's impossible" I say

"It's in fact not impossible. You just don't want to tell yourself that. Maybe you can tell me one reason why you don't believe this besides the fact that Landon just died." Caroline says

"Well, she's my best friend"I say

"It's common to get a crush on your best friend" she says

"Until I'm certain of my feelings I don't want to call it a crush" I say

"Well, what do you want to call it?" Caroline asked

"A small possible amount of feelings towards a friend of mine in a non friendly way" I say

"Sweetheart, that's a crush" she says

"Fine. But don't tell Josie." I say

"I won't. And I'm glad you came to me and told me this." She says

"Well it was either that or deal with all of this on my own. I'm trying my best to be open and not shut everyone out like before" I said truthfully

"That's great hope. Now if you excuse me I have to do some research on the whole merge thing. Im pretty sure you and the girls know by now" she says

"Im well aware. If there is anything you need help with just let me know. Im more than happy to help." I say

"Thanks. But for right now I don't need your help" she says with a small smile.

I nodded and left out of the office. That wasn't too bad. This is the first time in years I actually talked about my feelings to an adult. I'm still very confused and I don't think seeing Josie today will help me out.

I went back to my room and decided to watch some tv.

I don't want to start thinking about Josie or anything because if I do then I might start crying. Not because it's sad to think about it's just I don't want to think about how fast I moved on from Landon. I barely even cry at the thought of him. I should be sad over his death but instead my body just doesn't give a fuck. Which is weird.

Lizzie POV

Classes were over and I was tired as fuck.

"Hey Lizzie, where are you off to?" Josie asked

I still haven't talked to Josie since this morning. I'm not trying to ignore her but I really don't have anything to say without calling her girl friend a bitch. Technically bitches are female dogs and last time I checked finchy was a little puppy.

"I'm going to hopes room to talk with her" I say

"Cool, I'll go with you" Josie says
"No thank you. I want to talk with her alone. Besides don't you have something with finch or something?" I asked

Before she could speak I left.

Josie POV

Why does everyone keep doing that? It's like I can never get a word out before they just leave.

"Hey Josette." My dad says
"Hey dad" I say
"What are you doing here by yourself? Where's Lizzie? Or Hope?" He asked

"In hopes room. Dad?" I say

"Yes sweetheart?" He asked

"Do you like finch?" I asked

"Well, I don't quite know her. But if you're happy then I like her" he says

"Mom doesn't seem to like her nor does Lizzie" I say

"And I know exactly why" he says

A/n: sorry for the short chapter might update later on but yeah.
